Ideal Front-End Filter for USA Automotive Wireless Receivers

Rugged TO39 Hermetic Package
The RF1211 is a low-loss, compact, and economical surface-acoustic-wave (SAW) filter designed to provide
front-end selectivity in 315.0 MHz receivers. Receiver designs using this filter include superhet with
10.7 MHz or 500 kHz IF, direct conversion and superregen. Typical applications of these receivers are wire-
less remote-control and security devices (especially for automotive keyless entry) operating in the USA
under FCC Part 15, in Canada under DOC RSS-210, and in Italy.
This coupled-resonator filter (CRF) uses selective null placement to provide suppression, typically greater
than 40 dB, of the LO and image spurious responses of superhet receivers with 10.7 MHz IF. RFM’s advanced
SAW design and fabrication technology is utilized to achieve high performance and very low loss with simple
external impedance matching (not included). Quartz construction provides excellent frequency stability over
a wide temperature range.

CAUTION: Electrostatic Sensitive Device. Observe precautions for handling.
Notes:
1. Typical test circuit is shown for TO-39 RF filters.
2. Passband and reject bands are specified in reference to f
C
.
3. All characteristics are specified over the operating temperature range and typical aging for 10 years.
4. Unless noted otherwise, all measurements are made with the filter installed in the specified test fixture. Note that insertion loss, bandwidth, and pass-
band shape are dependent on the impedance matching component values and quality. Demonstration circuits are available for confirmation of device
performance.
5. One or more of the following U.S. Patents apply: 4,454,488; 4,616,197; and other pending.
6. All equipment designs utilizing this product must be approved by the appropriate government agency prior to manufacture or sale.
7. The design, manufacturing process, and specifications of this device are subject to change without notice.
